Default Re: Regarding heroes

I posted as a wish list for dom IV that for design points a nation could start with a hero. I do not think it should be free, but for 20 points you would start with a national hero.

Your national hero should not be 1 of the 4 random heroes that come at chance, but a tougher not so easy to kill hero.

Maybe not so tough as to single handily take provinces with no items, but he should have 20 hp and high mr to say the least. If he is Abysia's obviously fr 100 and radiate heat, maybe a fiery weapon and a fire shield.

In all cases he should have good leadership, and if he leads a race with undead units, undead leadership. The hero for Ulm, may be a mage, one with access to a different path of magic, and maybe an alchemy skill(not overpowered with earth gems).

He would be the focus of your early turns, a unit you build armies around.

Man's hero-Beowulf once a mortal man of great power but after slaying Grendal and eating its heart, came to gain supernatural health and might.

Hp 22
att. 15
def 15
prot 25
mr 16
precision 12

Weapon Grendal's tooth 5 dam 1 att decay
Shield was given by the King grateful for killing the monster: 30 protection, 10 parry, spiked.

3 attacks tooth, shield bash(ap), kick(chance to knock down(lose a turn in combat, defense -10)

Special abilities: berseker 5, regeneration 5 percent, battle shout( all troops plus 2 to morale)(demoralizing shout -2 to enemy morale).
